Children

Children

Have you taken time to consider the source of life,

The unfathomable mystery of our being?

The richness of our breathing rife

With gracious gifts for our finite seeing.

Consider the children of our affection

Helpless but unwittingly trusting in our arms,

To nurture and provide protection

From the world’s devious charms.

What can a God-less society provide

As basis for the moral life?

Its secularist pendulum sways to one side,

But its return cuts as a knife.

The secular is never permanent

It changes with the winds

Bringing to our detriment

No stable community, our chagrin.

So how do we protect His little ones,

The Holy Vulnerables He loves so dearly?

For the good of our daughters and sons

Our tasks can be stated clearly.

'Roe v. Wade' is a prison,

Its legal cuffs allow no room

For the pre-born children of the One Risen,

He Who walked away from the tomb.

Now is the time

To turn the legal table.

A time now ripe and prime,

A sinful law to disable.
